What is the NAHA and what are its objectives?

people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness achieve sustainable housing and social inclusion

people are able to rent housing that meets their needs

people can purchase affordable housing

people have access to housing through an efficient and responsive housing market

Indigenous people have the same housing opportunities (in relation to homelessness services, housing rental, housing purchase and access to housing through an efficient and responsive housing market) as other Australians

Indigenous people have improved housing amenity and reduced overcrowding, particularly in remote areas and discrete communities.

Under the terms of the current 2015–17 NPAH agreement the Commonwealth Government will provide $230 million over two years, matched by states and territories. However, the states and territories have contributed more than the federal government, allowing nearly $250 million per year to fund around 800 homelessness services across Australia.
